Australian model Megan Gale, 41, has opened up for the first time on her devastating miscarriage in May of last year, just as she was starting her dream role as a judge on Australia’s Next Top Model.
Speaking to InStyle Australia for their February 2017 issue, the 41-year-old – who is already a mum to two-year-old so River – said she just felt “nervous and horrible” on the day of her eight-week scan, knowing that something wasn’t right.
“I can’t put my finger on it—there was no physical change or a sign or symptom…[I wondered] if I was being overprotective and paranoid, or if something was wrong,” she said.
“I hopped up on the table and [my obstetrician] put the ultrasound on my tummy. He just kept moving it and not saying anything and I started to feel sick.
“He was quiet, and then he just said, ‘I’m so sorry, it’s gone.'”
Megan said she and partner Shaun Hampson, 28, had been thrilled to discover she was pregnant in May.

I have never understood how people ask these deeply personal questions, and especially those who, when providing an evasive answer, prod for even more. I have never done this to anyone and never will. And this is from someone who has had no problems conceiving until a very recent miscarriage, so has been my view well before having an issues of my own.
YES. It is an INCREDIBLY personal question that i will never, EVER ask anyone. I was out for dinner with a group of girlfriends who all happened to be pregnant. One of them actually told us about her pregnancy and after the excitement and congratulations she asked "well how does it feel to be the only one here not pregnant"? It was like a stab in the gut.
What an awful, insensitive thing she said. I'm sorry that happened to you x
